Do you know if the V8 unit works in our cars?

The 200q20v master cylinder for UFO cars is an aluminum unit, sealed,
and NOT serviceable.

It's a critical safety component, and not a terribly expensive one at
that if you get it from one of the wholesale dealer parts places.  The
'sticks when hot from the engine bay' failure is very common after a
certain age/mileage.
